Last year I uploaded a JPG showing the time of production of Hexanon lenses and a production code key. I'm doing it again as I've learned quite a few new things since then (my database will reach its target of 10,000 lenses in the next couple of weeks), and because the server problems of a few months ago led to the disappearance of my and many other peoples' uploads.
This is still a work in progress, which will wind up on my website when I'm done looking carefully over all the data I've collected. The layout and sections are pretty self-explanatory, but if anything is unclear your comments will be more than welcome. So, for all of you who enjoy Hexanon lenses, here is the sequel:

Yes, I know......
I have seen sooo many excellent images from Hexanons that I am convinced of their quality.
My Digital cameras are Nikon and Pentax and I am almost certain that Hexanon adapters are at the best problematic and at worst non existent.
Same story with RE Topcors too of course.
As well, I have accumulated a body of lenses that are also very good, that I can use easily with my current setup, so I think that my stars would say that they see no Hexanons or Topcors in my future ................. |
